The Definitive Guide to Director Onboarding

Director orientation is absolutely necessary – that’s your upfront training of the director. Slightly different is the concept of “director onboarding,” which is more than a one-day affair. It’s a process that might extend as long as a year.

And it’s not the kind of thing that you can outsource – the purpose of onboarding is to make your new director aware of your board’s – your company’s – unique facts & circumstances.

Here are five things about director onboarding that you should know:

• Start on the right foot
• Send out non-confidential materials
• Set up officer meetings
• Set up your own meeting
• Follow-up after initial orientation
